The high point of my day was going to the dentist. Not so much because I like having my teeth probed and scraped.. but because my particular set of tooth docs are very in to their gadgets. Every new visit includes the unveiling of some new ultra hightech wizardry. I was not disappointed today. I was told that I needed a new ‘panorama xray’. Huh ? As I dreamed of lofty skeletal mountain vistas I was lead to a little white thing that looked like a cross between a doctors scale and a cat scan machine. I bit on a little stick and 20 seconds later I was looking at the picture below.. How cool is that ?

That reminds me of one of my favorite pictures .. this is me holding Gabe’s hand after he broke his wrist about 8 years ago. I remember asking  the XRAY-tech ‘but aren’t I in the XRAY too ?’,.. Nope she said..  I like the shot of my wedding ring 🙂

Evidently whatever they saw in my teeth xrays todaywas good enough news.. Look ma.. no (new) cavities.. Though I’m a bit ashamed to have as much metal in my mouth as I do..

One particular bit of metal surprised the nice hygienist ‘M’.. We’d never met and she had to take a double take when she saw my tattooed tooth  . I got all three boys initials on my one and only crown about 2 years back. i did it because my religion has a ban of sorts on ink (a tattoo taboo ? 🙂 I figured getting my tooth inked would still pass scrutiny.. Actually someday I may get a tribute tat for Sam.. dunno

Sorry.. I know this is a weird picture

 

Speaking of weird pictures.. .. I want to pass on the invite to freind Chris’s ‘Monroe Doctrine’ project this Friday night , 6PM at the FlynnDog Gallery on Flynn Ave in Burlington . Come join us.. and be dressed up like Marylin Monnroe for your 15 seconds of fame. We’ll provide the dress, the wig and the .. uh.. cleavage..   and the burst of wind.. You just keep that skirt down. Chris’s aim is to get 200 people to pose while his buddy Matt snaps their pics. Gabe will be there doing time lapse as well .   Want details ..? Check out the nice article about it in this week’s 7Days
